Windows 7 - iTunes doesn't see AirPort Express but AirPort Utility does..

iTunes 10.1.1.4 running on Windows 7 can not detect my AirPort Express with 7.5.2 firmware. My iPod Touch running on the same wireless router detects and will play music through the AirPort Express.
iTunes preferences are set to detect remotes (iPod Remote works to control iTunes) and the AirPort Express. Also verified that the Windows 7 firewall is set to all Bonjour to pass all UDP ports on home networks.
Need some help getting iTunes 10 to detect the AirPort Express...

I have since done a reset to factory condition and tried again and it seems to be working now. I unplugged it from the power held down the reset button and plugged it back in continuing to hold down the reset. I think you have to hold it down for nearly 10 seconds until the light flashes green 4 times and then release the button. Then try scanning for it again. It still took a little longer than I expected for it to find it after that but once it did I have not had any more problems.
At least with it; my sister is on windows and that is another story!

ITunes doesn't see my iPhone but my computer does.

iTunes doesn't see my iPhone when I plug it in my computer but, my Computer does. What do I do?

Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591

Your computer should recognize the Camera Roll only, as a digital camera. iTunes must recognize it for syncing and backup.

ITunes doesn't recognize my iPod but my laptop does

I'm having a problem with my ipod touch and I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. About a month ago, I updated itunes after not updating it for a couple months.
The same day I was cleaning my computer, so I was unninstalling some programs I never use, the thing is I must have deleted one I didn't had to, because from that day on when I connect my ipod or any apple device to my computer, my laptop recognizes it, but itunes doesn't. So I haven´t been able to add any music or videos to my ipod in nearly two months... I tried unninstalling and installing itunes again and again and with different versions to see if my ipod wasn't compatible with the version I had updated but that wasn't the case, I have tried everything I can find on the internet but nothing seems to fix my problem.
Is there any

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

ITunes doesn't recognise my iPhone but my PC does

I've just updated iTunes but when I connect my iPhone 3GS, iTunes doesn't recognise it but my laptop does. Does anyone know why and what to do to correct it?

Typical, no one has answered your question.
It happened to me & now again. Last time I found my computer had a virus & after I connect up to ITunes it was working slower then the next time I connected ITunes wouldnt reconise my phone, then the nes time I did it the computer or ITunes shut down my phone & I couldnt turn it on.
My solution: Either roll back or reformat your computer.

ITunes freezes, can't update ipod, windows and itunes doesn't see my pod

I have a 2nd gen Ipod with the really sensitive buttons under the screen and whenever I try to plug my ipod into my PC w/xp nothing good happens. It used to be fine about a month ago and now its screwing up. I never dropped it or did anything bad to it.
I plug it in.
I get a windows error message in the bottom right that says "this blah blah blah has malfunctioned and windows can not recognize it"
That message soon goes away and windows makes that little ding sound.
After that iTunes just freezes up. I cant minimize it, play songs, or do anything. completely frozen.
My Computer doesnt even see it.
The ipod flashes "do not disconnect" until I unplug it.
When I unplug it itunes starts working after a couple seconds.
Sometimes it will completely drain the battery right after I charge it fully and it will reset itself and stay off.
anybody know whats goin on?
Ive done pretty much everything on this website to fix it and nothing.
2nd Gen Windows XP

Are you sure that there is no way to change the
format?
I never said there wasn't a way to change the
format.
To change the format, select it in iTunes on the Mac
and select Restore.
I am having a similar issue with my daughters ipod nano. It was formatted for windows when we bought it (we have the songs on a mac) but it only downloads some of her library not all. Having looked in some of the forums it suggests restoring however when we plug the ipod into the mac the button for restoring the ipod to factory settings is not highlighted. In this case how can the ipod be restored to a mac setting? We are using the latest itunes software and OSX operating system.

It appears since my Windows PC McAfee AV subscription expired my PC's iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's. My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATV has internet connection thru same router. My iPad can see the ATV but it can't see iT

My Windows PC iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's (in the speaker button in lower right of iTunes), I believe this problem began when my PC's McAfee AV subscription expired. My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATVs have internet connection thru same router so it's not a networking issue. My iPad can see the ATVs but it can't see iTunes so the problem appears to be PC/iTunes related. I turned the PC's firewall off but no joy. I uninstalled the expired McAfee and still no joy. Reboot = no joy. Glass of scotch = no joy. Need help!!

Wanted to add that I turned on Home Sharing w/the same account in iTunes and ATVs. And I've successfully streamed music/photos to my ATVs for over a year.

ITunes doesn't "see" my iPod Touch but Windows 7 does. What can I do?

Windows 7 using "MTP USB Device" driver so it recognizes that it's an Apple iPod but iTunes doesn't see it. I have spent the entire day following the "install/ininstall/start AMDS/stop AMDS" instructions ad nauseum...still no love. Frustration maxed out!

ITunes doesn't see PSE7 images

I had Photoshop Elements 8 installed, and iTunes could see those photos just fine. But then my trial expired, so I had to uninstall and use PSE7. The problem is that iTunes no longer sees my PSE7 catalog and instead sees the PSE8 catalog as it was before it was uninstalled. I managed to track down where iTunes apparantly copied the PSE8 catalog and deleted it, but now iTunes doesn't see any PSE catalogs at all.
Of course there is the option to sync with individual folders, but I'd rather not do that since PSE keeps them nice and organized, and iPod Touch doesn't show the folders within subfolders of the selected folder for photo syncing. So, how can I get iTunes to pick up my PSE7 catalog again?

I had something similar (if not the same) happen. I was going to transfer some new shows from iTunes on my laptop into my iPod. The msg I get from iTunes: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "(iPod'S name)". Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings." The best part....my iPod's empty! I don't know what happened but I tried to connect it to my work PC and it read the same. I can reload my iPod with songs/shows. That's not an issue BUT I'd like to know what may have caused this and how do I know it won't happen again?
PC Windows XP

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

Restarted router(s) and it works again.

ITunes doesn't see my iPod video 30 gb! Please help me!

When i connect by usb 2.0 my iPod, the pc see the iPod as an external drive and It seems to be empty, while iTunes says that there isn't any iPod connected. The latest iPod software is installed. Opening the iPod while it isn't connected to the pc, there isn't any file but in the settings is written that almost 10 gb are full and 20 gb are free: this should be ok because before that these problems appeared that was the memory used. Of course I can't update the iPod or reset it to default because the iPod updater doesn't see any iPod connected to the pc while it is really connected... Well, windows sees my iPod while iTunes doesn't see it so i can't make any operation on the iPod and when it isn't connected to the pc i can't listen to the music... Please sombody help me!

Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work. Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
Thanks in advance for any help.
--Jeff

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.
